SAS Data Libraries You need to reference SAS data sets in your programs. Typing the full path every time that you use or create a data set is inefficient and time-consuming. SAS enables you to give a nickname to the fully qualified pathname. You can have a nickname for every different folder that contains SAS data.

SAS Data Libraries For Windows, a SAS data library is simply a directory. Each different location that contains SAS files is called a SAS data library. Example: c:orkshopysasfiles This is the fully qualified pathname of the SAS data library.

SAS Data Libraries You can think of a SAS data library as a drawer in a filing cabinet and a SAS data set as one of the file folders in the drawer. FILES LIBRARIES
